VIDEO: LINDA DOUGLASS MIGHT WANT TO STOP TALKING

At an age younger than what White House mouthpiece Linda Douglass appears to be, she should have learned when to stop talking. She apparently didn't. Perhaps she sat down with CNN's Howard Kurtz in an attempt to redeem her pathetic three minute video performance in which she accused bloggers of "cobbling" Obama's words together to make it look like he said things he didn't really say.

Like I said, she should have chalked the three minute video up as a complete loss and moved on. Before you watch this one minute excerpt from Douglass' interview with Kurtz, check out this article from FOX, in which Judge Andrew Napolitano explains why the White House could be stuck between a rock and hard place because of the Privacy Act of 1974:

"If the White House deletes anything, it violates one statute. If the White House collects data on the free speech, it violates another statute."

Napolitano was referring to the Privacy Act of 1974, which was passed after the Nixon administration used federal agencies to illegally investigate individuals for political purposes. Enacted after Richard Nixon's resignation in the Watergate scandal, the statute generally prohibits any federal agency from maintaining records on individuals exercising their right to free speech.

Wouldn't you like to be present when the light bulb in a liberal's head goes on after you tell him that Obama is breaking a law put in place because of what Nixon did?

(I know but a guy can dream, right?)

The conundrum that Napolitano talks about is perfectly illustrated by Linda Douglass inadvertently admitting that the White House broke the law. She had to admit that the White House is either running a data collection program or that they're not keeping all correspondence it receives. She chose the latter. While doing so in her mind was probably a decision to choose the lesser of two evils, it is also a "no-no".



If I'm a Linda Douglass PR handler, I type up a memo that simply says the following:

Dear Linda,

JUST STOP TALKING
